Chapter 91 Aunt’s reply
[Seeing each other is like meeting each other, and I am so happy to express my trust. Xiaomi, my aunt is very happy to hear the news about you in a foreign land. I learned from Captain Shi that you are now married...]
Xia Mi took the letter and silently read its contents in his heart.
She learned about her aunt's current situation from the letter. Her aunt and uncle were very popular among the villagers because of their education, but they did not have the necessary supplies.
By the end of two-thirds of the letter, her aunt had not revealed her intention to leave, until Xia Mi saw her aunt mention the child.
The year I went to the farm, my aunt got pregnant and gave birth to a little cousin on the farm. My aunt said that her niece was born prematurely and was much thinner than other children of the same age.
In addition, the children in the village are talkative and often hurt the children with their words, resulting in the children talking less and less.
My aunt is worried that if this continues, the child will become autistic.
At the end of the letter, the handwriting on the letter was obviously smudged by tears, and the handwriting became thicker and somewhat difficult to read.
The general meaning is that the husband and wife have no other extravagant wishes. They only hope that Xia Mi can help take the child to the hospital for examination.
After Xia Mi read the letter, he felt very heavy, as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, and it became difficult to breathe.
Life was really difficult in the past few years. My aunt and uncle had to undergo pipan regularly, which was a double torture both physically and mentally.
After finally getting through it, my young daughter had to endure this pain again.
Xia Mi collected the letter and planned to discuss with Huo Jingchen tonight about visiting his aunt. This matter could not be delayed.
It gets dark late in the summer, and it doesn't get dark until half past six. Huo Jingchen didn't come back until seven or eight because of the recent pirate incident.
Xia Mi cleared two ridges of land. The vegetables she had grown before were almost eaten, and she planned to plant some tomatoes and water spinach.
"What are you planning to plant again?"
When Huo Jingchen walked in, she saw someone squatting in the vegetable field next to her. The soil had been turned over again, and she smelled a strange smell in the air.
That was the smell of something Xia Mi bought in space to improve the soil quality.
Xia Mi had never touched the spring water before, but he was a good vegetable grower, and he could harvest whatever he planted.
"Tomatoes and water spinach, it may be a little late to plant tomatoes now, but it should be about the same. When the weather is hot, you can make tomatoes mixed with sugar or eat them as fruit."
As for water spinach, there are many ways to eat it. Add a few to boiled noodles or stir-fry and it tastes good.
"Is the food done? If not, I will go to the canteen to get food. Today's food is much better than usual."
Because of the pirate incident, the leader from Qingcheng also came here specially. Huo Jingchen was wearing a white shirt today, which was much more formal than usual.
A pure white shirt is tucked into navy blue trousers, and a belt is tied around the waist, showing off the man's height proportions.
The thin upper body makes the shirt bulge without appearing tight.
Xia Mi looked away, "I've prepared the rice, it's hot on the pot."
She prepared the meal early and waited for Huo Jingchen to come home to clean the vegetable patch.
"Eat first, make the rest tomorrow or I'll come back after dinner. It's getting late." Huo Jingchen went to the kitchen to pour hot water.
While serving food, Xia Mi talked about his aunt's letter and proposed the idea of visiting his aunt alone.
Huo Jingchen looked at the steaming and fragrant food, and instantly felt that the rice in front of her was no longer fragrant.
After washing his hands and sitting on the table, Xia Mi obviously wanted to continue this topic and finalize it early.
Huo Jingchen picked up the bowl and picked up the chopsticks, "Eat first, don't say anything after eating."
"?" Xia Mi wondered why she felt that these words were so familiar, as if she had said them before.
After eating, Huo Jingchen actively rushed to be the first to take a shower.
Xia Mi returned to the room after taking a shower and saw the man with his hands behind his head, his face expressionless and his eyes staring at something in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?" Xia Mi closed the door, "I saw you were absent-minded all night." Xia Mi sat in front of the dressing table, rubbing her hair repeatedly with the towel in her hand.
Now that the temperature is up, it takes about half an hour for your hair to dry.
Huo Jingchen stood up and sat beside the bed, took the towel skillfully, and wiped Xia Mi's head. His movements were gentler than expected.
"I will be away on a mission in two days. If you want to go back, I will ask Daqiang to accompany you."
Xia Mi's eyes were wet after taking a shower, and looked very bright under the light, "Is this possible?"
"Okay, I'll apply to the superiors for special permission for him to go back for two days. You are going to Zhuifeng Hospital this time. If it's more serious, it's to recruit talents for Zhuifeng Island. Lao Jiang will definitely approve the procedures."
"That's good. It's good to have someone to keep you company. Besides, the farm where my aunt lives is Daqiang's hometown, so he can go back and have a look."
Huo Jingchen kept moving, "Well, I don't trust you to take the train alone. We learned that this group of pirates has changed careers, and they are not doing good things. They operate in many areas, including the train station."
Railway station...
Xia Mi recalled that when she first met Huo Jingchen, she was almost abducted by human traffickers.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Traffickers use the flow of people to escape, change their clothes or run a little faster, making arrests even more difficult.
"That's what you were thinking about when you were in a daze just now?"
Xia Mi turned to look at him, expecting an answer.
"Absolutely. I'm also thinking about the mission and the accommodation where your aunt and the others will come. The hospital does not provide dormitories, but if your aunt is willing to come, the hospital will most likely ask Lao Jiang to handle the matter."
"Your aunt is here. After all, it is convenient for the soldiers in the army. Most of the people on the island usually have minor illnesses, such as colds and fevers. If you invite your aunt here just for this, isn't it a waste of time?"
"You mean, it's possible for aunt and the others to live in a family home?"
Huo Jingchen did not dare to agree easily without something certain.
"I'm not sure yet. My aunt's reply is to ask you to take the child away. Those villagers have helped her when she was in trouble over the years. What if your aunt can't let go of these kindnesses? Have you ever thought about what to do?"< br>
Xia Mi's eyes were glazed over and she looked stunned. She had also thought about this issue.
"The weather is getting hot. After this busy period is over, how about we go to the city and choose an electric fan?"
It's hot now, and whenever he sleeps next to someone at night, Xia Mi can kick him away, often muttering about the heat.
Huo Jingchen felt that it was not an option to continue like this. There was still such a long time in summer, and no one could touch him at all.
"The electricity is turned on at ten o'clock in the evening. Is it useful to buy this?"
Xia Mi raised his hand and touched his hair. It was still a little moist. He quickly changed his mind and said, "It's okay to buy one. It's also convenient to use to dry your hair."
Although blowing your hair with an electric fan can easily cause migraines and rheumatism, once you encounter this special situation, it is best to blow your head early and go to bed.
As he spoke, the lights above his head began to flash.
Xia Mi's hair was not yet dry, so she opened the drawer and lit a candle in preparation.
The moment the room darkened, Huo Jingchen came up with an idea to kill time.
"My hair is not dry anyway, time is precious, do something conducive to the revolution."
The candlelight flickered due to the strong momentum of the visitor.
Xia Mi's stool was forcefully pulled to the bedside. Under the orange candlelight, she looked down and saw the veins on the man's arms gradually becoming clearer, and he pressed hard on his lower back.
She jumped forward uncontrollably.
Under the candlelight, the atmosphere in the room quietly changed. Huo Jingchen was only wearing a vest, and she could feel the other person's body temperature through the thin vest.
